The Design

About Folded 01 Cadeira de Jantar

Folded 01 é uma cadeira de jantar. O assento e o encosto são formados a partir de uma única chapa de alumínio bruto, dobrada à mão. A forma dobrada confere rigidez à cadeira e um efeito natural de flexão que acrescenta conforto. A chapa de alumínio é montada sobre uma estrutura de aço colorida, que proporciona um subtil detalhe de cor. O design foi inspirado na dobragem de uma folha de papel quadrada, que se torna rígida depois de dobrada. A cadeira mede 450 mm de largura, 500 mm de profundidade e 800 mm de altura. O objetivo foi regressar à essência do objeto, com uma aparência minimalista.
